Tiana Ames
Agent
Tiana Ames is a Financial Representative with AIN Services, bringing over 12 years of experience in financial planning and retirement strategies. She works closely with families, retirees, pre-retirees, professionals, and business owners, helping them build sustainable wealth through investment management, retirement planning, income strategies, and wealth preservation, with an emphasis on creating generational wealth.
Tiana’s passion for financial advisory services was shaped by witnessing the financial challenges faced in her community—particularly the lack of preparation following job loss, the death of a loved one, and the difficulties many elders encountered in retirement. These experiences reinforced her belief that financial education and proactive planning are essential to long-term success.

Known for her holistic and relationship-driven approach, Tiana remains committed to ongoing education and serving her clients’ best interests as a fiduciary within the insurance business.
